| I find College Confidential both interesting and troubling. I've read many excellent comments here and it's enlightening to read the various opinions. However, it's also troubling that some commenters - parents and students - apparently use these forums to justify or reinforce bad decisions. Underage drinking? No problem, everyone does it. Gaming/cheating on admissions/financial aid? Sure, as long as you're basically a good person. At heart, CC is an internet sympathy session and celebration, sort of an online soap opera with a college theme. No wonder it's addictive. |
